About Portola Pharmacy
Since 1946, Portola Pharmacy has been proudly serving the El Sereno community with personalized care and trusted pharmacy services. Acquired by Dr. Geneva Chen, Pharm.D., Ph.D. in 2016, the pharmacy has grown from a traditional neighborhood pharmacy into a comprehensive healthcare destination offering customized compounding, medication therapy management, immunizations, diabetes education, health screenings, and patient consultations.
Dr. Chen brings extensive experience as a pharmacist, researcher, and former pharmacy professor. She works closely with physicians and patients to develop personalized medication solutions that help improve health outcomes. Her dedication to patient care has earned numerous honors, including the 2015 "Pharmacist of the Year" Award from the San Gabriel Valley Pharmacist Association, a Congressional Certificate of Recognition, and recognition from the Asian Pacific Islander Small Business Collaborative.
As the only compounding pharmacy serving El Sereno and surrounding communities, Portola Pharmacy is committed to providing high-quality care with a personal touch. Many of our patients know us by name, and we know them by name. We believe the best pharmacy care begins with relationships built on trust.
At Portola Pharmacy, our mission is simple: to provide personalized, compassionate healthcare and be the trusted pharmacy our community can depend on for generations to come.
